SUITABILITY OF VENUE FOR AGM
In view of the mandatory poll voting, we hope companies will look into suitable venue to cater for large crowd of shareholders, especially if the companies wish to distribute door gift after the vote is casted. Perhaps this arrangement is made to encourage the shareholders to exercise their rights to vote at the AGM.
